Search for a not numerical character

Hello,
is it possible to search for a not numerical character in a string?
E.g. # 1237538, the characters '#', ' ' and '' should be deleted.
The answer to this problem should be as fast as possible, because I have very many numbers to edit.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
<u><b>Finding Character Strings</b></u>
To search a character field for a particular pattern, use the SEARCH statement as follows:
SEARCH <c> FOR <str> <options>.
The statement searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. If successful, the return code value of SY-SUBRC is set to 0 and SY-FDPOS is set to the offset of the string in the field <c>. Otherwise, SY-SUBRC is set to 4.
The search string <str> can have one of the following forms.
<str> - Function
<pattern> - Searches for <pattern> (any sequence of characters). Trailing blanks are ignored.
.<pattern>. - Searches for <pattern>. Trailing blanks are not ignored.
*<pattern> - A word ending with <pattern> is sought.
<pattern>* - Searches for a word starting with <pattern>.
Words are separated by blanks, commas, periods, semicolons, colons, question marks, exclamation marks, parentheses, slashes, plus signs, and equal signs.
<option> in the SEARCH FOR statement can be any of the following:
ABBREVIATED
Searches the field <c> for a word containing the string in <str>. The characters can be separated by other characters. The first letter of the word and the string <str> must be the same.
STARTING AT <n1>
Searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. The result SY-FDPOS refers to the offset relative to <n1> and not to the start of the field.
ENDING AT <n2>
Searches the field <c> for <str> up to position <n2>.
AND MARK
If the search string is found, all the characters in the search string (and all the characters in between when using ABBREVIATED) are converted to upper case.
Ex.
DATA STRING(30) VALUE 'This is a little sentence.'.
WRITE: / 'Searched', 'SY-SUBRC', 'SY-FDPOS'.
ULINE /1(26).
SEARCH STRING FOR 'X'.
WRITE: / 'X', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'
SEARCH STRING FOR 'itt '.
WRITE: / 'itt ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR '.e .'.
WRITE: / '.e .', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR '*e'.
WRITE: / '*e ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.
SEARCH STRING FOR 's*'.
WRITE: / 's* ', SY-SUBRC UNDER 'SY-SUBRC',
SY-FDPOS UNDER 'SY-FDPOS'.

How do I search for sticky notes in a PDF doc?

Several people (at work) have commented on a 440-page document that I created, using sticky notes to write their comments in. When I first open the document, the sticky notes are all closed. The icon for a closed sticky note is pretty small and not brightly colored, so they're easy to miss when scrolling through hundreds of image-heavy pages. I am hoping that it's possible to search for each occurrence of a sticky note.
If there is no way to search for the notes, is there a command I can use to open all the notes in the file (in one action) so that they are larger and easier to spot?
Platform: Windows 8 PC
Version: Acrobat 8
If this is not a feature available in Acrobat 8, is it possible to do this in later versions?
Apologies if this is not the right community for this question, but none of the ones listed seemed like the obvious choice, and there is no "miscellaneous" or "general" category. If there is a better community for the question, please let me know.
Thanks,
Joyce.

Out the gate you've a problem.
The Acrobat 8 product family passed into "End of Support" many years ago (well before the release of Windows 8).
"End of Support" means -- well, just that eh.
The Acrobat 8 product family is not compatible with Windows 8.1, 8 or 7.
The Acrobat XI product family is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1.
Regarding Comment and Mark Up Annotations:
With Acrobat 8 Pro use the "Comments List".
Same wit Acrobat 9 Pro, X Pro and XI Pro.
May be available with the various versions' "Standard" release.
The contents of a Comments List can be exported to a PDF report.
The filter an be used to display specific characteristics / attributes which then become the reports content when you output a report.
Having "8" the Help PDF file got loaded with the install of "8".
Use it to review the information provided on the Comments List.
Be well...

Search for SAP notes is very poor

I find the "Search for SAP notes" functionality very poor
I was searching for a setting from a web.xml file
<param-name>SMTPFrom</param-name>
   in application area BOJ* and it came up with nothing
I even searched for
SMTPFrom
   and it still came up with nothing
but if I searched for
email from
then it came up with note number 1308076 which has an extract from the web.xml file I was interested in and even had the very line I searched for but it failed to find
is this very poor search functionality or am I doing something wrong?

I need a few tries to find a note too.
Especially the "Did you mean: ..." function is not working very well.
For example this one. I searched for "registered serverprogram" and it didn´t find anything.
But there was: "Did you mean: registered serverprogrammmmmmmmmm"
erm... yes. Very helpfull.

Searching for sites not web pages

This is not really a Safari question, although I'm using Safari as my browser. If there is a more relevant forum, please let me know.
I want to search for sites, not pages, that contain certain keywords. I'm looking for a variety of items and I want to find a site that sells all of them, not just one or two. So I envisage typing in the name of items A, B, C, D, W, X and up come web sites that contain all of those words.
Is this possible?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Try the help pages for your favorite search engine. Quotation marks and logical operators might help you structure your query. You might also try entering your search terms into a TextEdit document before you past them into your search engine, so you can keep track of the queries that are more successful and build on those.
For example, a popular search engine that rhymes with 'frugal' has extensive hints and help available here: http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=134479&topic=1221 265&ctx=topic
Of course there are many generalized and specialized search engines available, so if one doesn't do the trick, keep trying others!
Just from practical experience, if you are looking for mass-produced brand new items normally distributed through retail channels and cannot find all of them on Amazon.com, you are probably looking for such specialized or costly items, that one vendor probably won't carry them all.
Some manufacturers still try to sell items through "authorized dealers only": computers, cameras, electronic components, jewelry, exotic cars, weapons, and 'collectibles', so you might not have much success if your search involves any or all of them.

GREP - search for anything except one character

Trying to figure out if I can say this in GREP or not....
I want to search for any character that's in a Superscript character style except for registration-mark symbols. Is there a way to exclude one character from a search?
Thanks, Phyllis

Absolutely. Remember the '^' character that indicates 'start of paragraph'? Well ... apparently whoever devised GREP ran out of useful characters, because it's used again in the "exclude" group. It works like this:
[0-9fuzzy]
looks for a single character out of the set '0' to '9' (inclusive), 'f', 'u', 'z', or 'y'. Throwing in the hat reverses the query:
[^0-9fuzzy]
looks for any old single character except those in the set.
The Registered mark has a shortcut of its own in the regular Find -- ^r -- so presumably it's "~r" in GREP mode. If not, copy-and-paste one from your text. So your GREP search should be (with Superscript formatting)
[^~r]
This marks only the next non-registered character; to find longer strings you can safely use
[^~r]+
-- which translates into "any string in superscript, one character or longer, and not containing the Registered mark". Yes, the short version is a bit easier to type.

"Search for" results not shown in list view

Hello,
I just installed Leopard a few days ago, and so far I'm very happy.
The ony oddity I noticed today was that "Search for" results (the default searches in the pane on the left side) are not shown in list view.
What happens is this:
- I open a finder window in list view.
- I click e.g. on "Search for" - "All documents".
- The status bar on the bottom of the finder window says e.g. "1789 objects", but the actual window is empty (although it has a very long scrollbar). If I click somewhere in the empty space, info for an actual file is shown - as if the files were there, just shown in white letters on white background. I can also type in the search field, and the status bar updates accordingly, but again, no files show up.
Icon and Coverflow views, however, do work.
- If I switch from Icon to List view, a file list is shown for the fraction of a second, then disappears.
This is not an end-of-the-world-bug for me, but still pretty annoying.
Any idea what might be the problem here? I have no exotic software installed that could cause trouble; just QuickSilver and the usual productivity apps.
Thanks!

The problem disappeared a few launches later . ..

How can I: Search for files "not in catalog"

Is there a way to search for files/photos on my hard drive that are *NOT* already in my catalog?
(a) I can do a mass search to find all photos on my hard drive.
(b) And there is a reconnect feature - for all entries in catalog with a missing/invalid link, look for the file that matches best.
But I'd like to have Elements find photos that I have not added to the catalog.
That is, do (a), but check each one to see if it is already added.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks,
-ceej

What you want to achieve by finding those files?
In folder view you can see the folder which have no media files in Organizer.
If you import all the files form all the drives on your system, by deafult you will see files just imported into catalog. That means, just after import ou will have the files which were not in your catalog :-)
I know my answer could be confusing for you, but it will make sense if you know what happens after import in Organizer...

Searching for apps not showing the desired apps

On 6/28/2012 at around 4 PM EST, I searched for the app "Chrome" on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1. I wasn't shown the Chrome browser in the search results. However, when I search for the same app on iTunes on my mac, I can find that app. I don't want to synch my phone to my comupter just to install this app. Any idea why might this be happening. This isn't the first time, it has happened before too. BTW my account is US iTunes based account.

But this issue always happens, whenever there is a new app. I have to wait for a day or two or install it by synching the phone to my mac. I just want to throw it out there, so that I know if this happens to others or just me.

Forum search problem[Solved] and search for Homer[NOT Solved]

While trying to find a thread where someone was trying to track down the archlinux homer release iso, I found out that any search term with the word install doesn't work. It just goes to a blank screen.
That said, does anyone know where I can get an iso of homer, or where that forum thread went?

Ah, ok, thank you! I tried a search for "linux", expecting that to have one of the most hits, and it does the same thing.

How to search for "Kind not equal to Folder"

I'm trying to set up a Smart Folder with criteria:
- Last Modifed within last 2 weeks AND
- Kind is not Folder
How do you set up Finder search criteria for Kind "doesn't equal" something? All I can find is Kind = All or one thing in particular?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

You'll have to use the Raw Query in order to have boolean operators, such as "is not" or "or" and so on. So do your Command-F, choose Last Modified, then for second criterion select "Other" from the drop down menu and scroll to Raw Query and select it. In the Raw Query field copy and paste this:
kMDItemKind != "Folder"
That should do it. The booleans are:
== equal
!= not equal
< less than
<div class="jive-quote"> greater than
<= less than or equal to
<div class="jive-quote">= greater than or equal to
For more information than you will probably ever want to know, you can start here:

Hi,
Not sure if I get it, but you can look for characters using the ascii and chr functions.
You can change them using replace:
A new line:
SQL> select ascii('
2 ') from dual;
ASCII('')
        10(Just press enter between the quotes)
Example how to replace it with a space:
SQL> with t as ( -- generating test string:
2 select 'this string has
3 a new line' str from dual
4 )
5 --
6 -- actual query:
7 --
8 select str
9 ,      replace(str, chr(10), chr(32))
10 from   t;
STR                        REPLACE(STR,CHR(10),CHR(32
this string has            this string has a new line
a new lineIf that isn't clear of when I'm missing the point then please post some narrowes down examples of what you get now and your desired output. Remember to put the tag around any code example you're posting.

Searching for SAP notes about Payment method

I have a problem with Payment method in F110. It shows error FZ/390 but eveything is correct in FBPZ.
For the same currency, same payment method and same bank there is no problem and for others it shows that error.
As we version installed is old, I would like to see whether there is a SAP note related to payment method but I can't find the list of SAP notes related to Payment on this website since it changed.
Can someone help me ?

Dear Christian,
The error comes from customizing where assignment with house bank and
a payment method is made.
Please go to Tcd:FBZP -> Bank determination
1) Choose company code
2) Ranking order : Make sure you have currency + payment method
    assigned for house bank you intend to use.
3) Bank accounts : Make sure that you have payment method assigned
    for currency /house bank/accountID/Bank subaccount.
4) Available amounts : Make sure that 'available for outgoing payment'
    is filled for house bank/account ID from (3) and currency.
Furthermore: please run again transaction FBZP   > PAYMENT METHOD IN COUNTRY   >
> double click on Your payment method
and check if You switched on the flag on:
x Street, PO box, P.O. box pst code <
x Bank details
now please run FK03 for Your vendor    > address
and check Street, PO box and P.O box pst code that You have to fill
After these activities please delete and re-run the proposal again.
I hopr this can help You.
